  22. http://www.globalhealthfacts.org/data/topic/map.aspx?ind=83 Percent of population living in urban areas, 2010 Urban population: 50.5% of total population (2010) Rate of urbanization: 1.85% annual rate of change (2010-15 est.) 10 largest urban agglomerations: Tokyo (Japan) - 36,669,000; Delhi (India) - 22,157,000; Sao Paulo (Brazil) - 20,262,000; Mumbai (India) - 20,041,000; Mexico City (Mexico) - 19,460,000; New York-Newark (US) - 19,425,000; Shanghai (China) - 16,575,000; Kolkata (India) - 15,552,000; Dhaka (Bangladesh) - 14,648,000; Karachi (Pakistan) - 13,125,000 (2009)

  23. Rural vs. Urban • Poorer health • Less access to health care • Poorer quality of health care • Higher proportion of elderly, due to industrialization and requisite migration to urban areas • Slower epidemic potential (population density), but lower rates of immunity • Higher cost of providing services; e.g., water, electricity, waste disposal

  24. Percent of Poor Households with Access to Services (continued) http://www.prb.org/pdf09/64.2urbanization.pdf

  25. Impact of Poor Water and Sanitation • Causes 88% of diarrhea cases; 1.5 million deaths annually • High infant mortality due to dehydration resulting from diarrhea • No access to improved water – 884 million (13% of the global population)

  35. Percent of population living on less than $1.25/day (varying years of data availability) http://www.globalhealthfacts.org/data/topic/map.aspx?ind=100

  36. Poverty • Globally, 1.2 billion (17.4%) of the world’s population live on <$US1 per day • Poor versus rich countries: • Deaths of children under 5 years of age: 20:1 • Malnutrition: 10:1 • Life expectancy: -16 years • Internal country disparities (e.g. 39.8 million Americans live below the poverty level; >20% among Hispanics and • African-Americans

  37. Prevalence of undernourished (underweight) children (<5 yrs), 2000-2009 http://www.globalhealthfacts.org/data/topic/map.aspx?ind=48

  38. Some Conclusions from Demographic Studies (1) • The majority of the world’s population lives in developing countries • Although fertility is declining, increases in population will occur primarily in developing countries in coming decades • Developed countries must cope with a shrinking productive age population and a burgeoning elderly population • The majority of the global population will live in urban areas in coming decades

  39. Some Conclusions from Demographic Studies (2) • The world’s wealth is concentrated in a minority of countries • Poor sanitation and hunger are concentrated primarily in countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia • Population density (which promotes emerging diseases) is greatest in developing countries, particularly China and India • Global inequity remains a major problem
